If the Chanute Blade will write to
Capt. T. s. Slower. who was marshal
of the day, or to Capt. S. McClaren or
John Walters, who were members of
the executive committee, it may learn
whether or not the REGISTER was too
severe in it's comments upon the
conduct of the Chanute Band
when it was here July Fourth.
The REGISTER has no desire to push
the matter. 1t has no personal griev-
ance against the band and is not &C.
Quainted with any member of it. Our
remarks in the first place simply voiced
the very general sentiment of the
managers of our celebration.
During the past two weeks we have
probably asked fifty farmers about the
condition of the corn crop, and part
of every answer has been, 1.-THE early
corn is all right, but late corn is badly
damaged" Does not this answer car
~ its own lesson? Plant early corn
and plant it early. That is what this
answer says. Take one year with an.
other in Kansas and the corn that is
most nearly matured on the first of
July is the corn that will make the
biggest crop. This fact cannot be dis
puted and we do not see why it should
not be practically acknowledged.
The call for the republican County
Convention will be found on our first
page. A careful perusal of this call
will give a good idea of the nature of
the plan determined upon by the last
County Convention for the nomination
of candidates by direct election instead
of by the old delegate system. In
mi n M hnv MIL
of many republicans we will publish
at an early date, probably next week,
the proceedings of the last Convention
touching this matter SO that there may
be no misunderstanding on the part of
any one.
